Supreme Court refuses to entertain plea of 14 parties alleging misuse of CBI, ED

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a plea jointly filed by 14 parties, led by Congress, alleging arbitrary arrests of Opposition leaders by central probe agencies, and seeking fresh guidelines governing the arrest and remand. A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice J B Pardiwala said that “laying down general guidelines without having relation to facts of a case will be dangerous”. Sensing the disinclination on the part of the top court in entertaining the plea, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the political parties, sought permission to withdraw the petition. The court also said guidelines cannot be sought only for politicians based on statistics showing the maximum number of cases by central probe agencies against opposition leaders as they do not enjoy any immunity from prosecution.
